The Surprising Truth Of Being A Landlord In Fort Walton Beach

Do you own a rental property in Fort Walton Beach? Make sure you know the surprising truth of being a landlord in Fort Walton Beach because it’s not always what you think it’s going to be…

Owning a rental property seems like a great idea. You buy it cheap, you find a tenant, and then you profit from the rental income while you manage the property… how hard could it be?

Problem is, it’s often much harder than people realize and you may find (as many landlords do) the surprising truth of being a landlord in Fort Walton Beach: You give up your personal life – no more private time, no more vacations, no more weekend getaways… all because you’re so busy as a landlord.

There’s the work required

Owning a rental will keep you busy. There’s the work required to find the property, then to fix it up, then to find a tenant, then to answer the phone from them every time they call. Even if they call late at night because the toilet is overflowing, you have to take their call and deal with it. That means: no more vacations, either, because what will happen if the toilet overflows while you’re in a different country?

There’s the time

Some landlords try to own a rental property while they have another job but many discover that it’s just as time-consuming… it’s like having a second full-time job! Between chasing down your tenants to fixing things around the house, it’s one thing after another and you may simply not have time to work at your other job… and that’s with ONE rental property. Landlords who own two or more are even busier.

There’s the cost

Rental properties aren’t cheap. Sure you get some rental income from the tenant but you also have to take care of the property, fix it up, make upgrades, and repair it if the tenants trash it when they leave. In other words, the costs add up and the financial rewards of owning a rental property may not be there for you.

There’s the stress

When you add up all of those things so far, it equals STRESS! You’ve got so much to juggle with the rental property, and you worry about it constantly, and perhaps you even fear opening the mail because you may find bad news in the next envelope. That’s no way to live.

If you own a rental property and want to get rid of it, we can help. We buy properties (even frustrating rental properties that have damage or bad tenants you can’t get rid of). Can we make you an offer on yours?

Sean:
so how did you hear about us?

Mrs. K:
Umm, actually I got a card in the mail, and we had been thinking about possibly trying to sell the house, because my dad left it to us, and you know the cost of the upkeep, and my husband was getting ready to retire. So I just thought… well I’ll just check it out. Well first I did check on the website, and I did read reviews from Better Business Bureau, and there were a lot of really good reviews. So I called., and Matt came out first and… I mean it’s been a really quick painless process.

Sean:
Good and that’s one thing we want to get over to other people is that we are real when they get a card.

Mrs. K:
Oh yeah its real. Because I’ve had people that’s like, “Oh you better be careful. There’s a lot of scam artists.” And I said Nope. I’ve already checked it out. I’ve been around. I’ve worked at enough banks and stuff like that, that I’ve heard about horror stories.

Sean:
Yes mam. Would you say the communication between the start to finish has been good?

Mrs. K:
Oh it’s been great. You’ve been great. I mean you even tried to find me a property to go to, and yeah everything’s been great.

Sean:
Good would you recommend us to other people?

Mrs. K:
oh yeah.

Sean:
What about in the future if something ever happens again where you need to sell, would you call us up user services again?

Mrs. K:
Oh, yes. Yes I would for sure, yeah.

Sean:
Well, I definitely thank you for trusting us with everything, and we hope everything with your retirement goes well, and anything in the future you need you have my card you can call me anytime.

Mrs. K:
I got your number in my phone, so I’m keeping them.

Sean:
You have my office and my personal. So yes, anything you need just let us know.

Arianne:
Hi Ms. Jojo, how are you today?

Ms. Jojo:
Hi Arianne, I’m good, how are you?

Arianne:
Good.

I just wanted to ask how you felt the process of selling your house to us went?

Ms. Jojo:
I was actually very very impressed.
I had been receiving the postcards from your company over a period of time, and I put them aside, but I was interested and wasn’t sure, and one day I decided, “Let me go ahead and contact this company and see if it would work for me,” which it most certainly did.

Arianne:
Okay, and throughout the process… I know a lot of the times people think, you know, is it a scam, or what is this little postcard?

Ms. Jojo:
I was actually very very impressed with the whole process.
Everything that was arranged or sorted was fulfilled, right from the first visit to the house to look at it, right up to right now at the closing.

So definitely not a scam and definitely worth looking into.
It suited me to do it this way.

There were no hassles, no worries, and I enjoyed the whole process.

Arianne:
Aww, well thank you very much, Ms. Jojo.
We really appreciated, you know, you trusting us with this, and I know it can be bittersweet but thank you so much.

Ms. Jojo:
Thank you!

We needed to sell our house rather quickly. Our house has a lot of issues.

The gentleman that came and looked at our home was very gracious. He didn’t make me feel bad about the condition our house was in. And it wasn’t horrible, but it’s got issues, and it wasn’t going to be able to go on the market and sell.

So Glass Homes/[Glast Heim] came in and gave us a good offer and were very helpful all the way through the whole process and this has been quick and painless, and now we’re on our way to Arkansas to another home, and I couldn’t be happier.

Every phone call I made to them, the questions were either answered, or they called back immediately, and it was always somebody I could talk to. Never had a problem. Never had anybody say “Oh, I’ll get back to you.” Nope. The question was either answered, I would be put on hold if need be, and one time I was transferred. And that’s the extent of it. It was a very great experience.
